Answer lyrics
I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you can't look down
If it takes my whole life, I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it, worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out you'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a, a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight
If it takes my whole life, I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it, worth it in the end
Because I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out you'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind

Before our wedding on September 16, 2013 Bill, my husband now got me to listen to this song (Answer)for the first time and I absolutely loved the lyrics and I just looked at him and cried....neddless to say it was our wedding song and everytime we hear from a tape or radio we just hold hands and kiss each other. Very solemn and so meaningful. we love it very much...Lots of luck and please never stop writing good music...you are the best singer :) B & A

Everytime I hear this song, I think of you. I loved you but now I hate you. You haunt me..everyday I think of you. We were never meant to be, we just happened. I know that now. But through all the pain, I still have a smile when I think about the time we had together. That "love" I will always have in my heart and NO ONE can take that from me. Better to have loved than to have never loved at all..very cliche but true..that is what makes me smile. In this whole wide world full of pain and evil..two people met and loved, loved hard for 7 months. X XOXO XOXOXO XOXO XOX

sarah is truly one of a kind, a genius songwriter and songstress--after watching "The Brave One" and hearing "Answer", I had to run out and buy the album "Afterglow", just for that one song. Only wish I had known of it 2 years ago, when I married the love of my life, so that I could have played it for her.

there is something about Sarah that echoes right down the core of your soul. I can't explain it. Once you've heard one of her songs her voice haunts you light a warm and familiar memory. I watched the movie, "The Brave one", last night and i still can't get over that enchanting voice that made the movie worth every cent i paid.

This song, as with "angel" will haunt me till I die.
"The Brave One" story and Jodie Foster accompanied with Sara - is sheer genious.

I watched the movie twice today- it was terrifying butnthrilling at the same time. This song it so haunting and seems perfect. I am a huge fan of Sara and have all her music.I also am a fan of Jodie Foster. Beautiful blending.
